Context of 2 Chronicles 29:35

33They also brought 600 bulls and 3,000 sheep to offer to the Lord. 34But there were not enough priests to prepare all the animals for the sacrifices. So their relatives, the Levites, helped them until they had finished the work. By that time more priests had made themselves clean to serve the Lord. (The Levites had been more careful than the priests to make themselves clean for the Lord.) The people brought a lot of animals for burnt offerings. There was also the fat from the friendship offerings. And there were drink offerings too. The priests offered all those with the burnt offerings. That is how they started to worship the Lord again in his temple. 36Hezekiah and all the people were happy because God had helped them. They had been able to do the work on the temple very quickly.
